Crocodile
You can use this crocodile as a mobile phone pendant or as a decoration on a key ring. Just attach a cord to its nose or to the tip of the tail. The crocodile is made of two layers: a bulging back and a bottom part. You can weave it with wire, but if you use a thin nylon thread, the pattern will be arranged in the layers easier. So, you’ll have a three-dimensional crocodile!

Planet
Let’s begin a 3D drawing! If you don't have any previous experience with this kind of picture, we suggest you start with the simplest drawings, for example, a circle. When learning to draw in 3D, it’s best to use simple pencils with different grades of lead. If you can, acquire a special kit. Soft lead pencils make a darker and thicker line; hard lead pencils a thinner and lighter line. In addition, when drawing in 3D you must sometimes bear down harder and sometimes more lightly.
